To the victor belong the neurodegeneration.
Power Slap already conquered the NFL.
Now, the controversial cheek-checking league is taking over the music industry. Its first victim? Grammy award-winning artist Taylor Swift, who was forced to watch in horror as UFC CEO Dana White, creator of the Power Slap league (but not the sport), racked up more than 136 million views on social media.
White recently shared the viral clip to his Instagram stories.
No doubt the sour “Swifties” are mounting a social media counteroffensive.
“We dominate,” White told reporters when touting the viral video during last weekend’s UFC Austin press conference. “Power Slap dominates social media in sports. The thing that was closest to us up until last week was the NFL and it wasn’t even football, it was Rihanna at the halftime show. By the time the end of the year happens, we might triple that number. It’s insane.”
It’s definitely “insane” (according to disgusted UFC fans).
Power Slap, which lasted just one season on TBS, continues to air on the Rumble app from its new home base of “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi, much to the chagrin of … well, just about everyone. As a result, White and Co. have declared “war” on the combat sports media.
“Road to the Title” (Ep. 4) airs this Weds. (Dec. 6) on Rumble.
